Evacuteer.org annually recruits, trains, and manages evacuation volunteers (Evacuteers) who assist with New Orleans’ public evacuation option program, City-Assisted Evacuation. We serve to prepare and register evacuees, ensuring their ability to evacuate safely and with dignity. City-Assisted Evacuation (CAE) will run when a mandatory evacuation is called in Orleans Parish. It begins approximately 54 hours before a storm makes landfall, and will run for 24 hours straight. We expect that there are between 35,000 and 40,000 New Orleanians without a safe or alternative option to evacuate who will need to use this resource. Our organization has been featured on CNN, ESPN, National Public Radio, the Huffington Post, the Times-Picayune, The New York Times, The LA Times, the Associated Press, ABC 26, Fox 8, WDSU and the Gambit for its community and citizen engagement strategies in preparing New Orleanians for hurricane season and safe evacuations.

This is the Story of Virginia’s Favorite Winery. It Starts with Real People. Before we ever started designing a winery, we talked about what we wanted to achieve. “We didn’t want to just sell wine, we wanted to create a place of community.” And that place of community has grown and developed since Barrel Oak Winery (BOW), Virginia’s Favorite Winery, opened in Delaplane, VA in 2008. In the years since, we have welcomed parents with children, folks with dogs, bikers, outsiders, early risers, hikers, birders, flirters, workers, herders, survivors, admirers, and yes…even foreign dignitaries and Washington insiders – all with a warm greeting and hearty smile. The positive atmosphere at Barrel Oak has not gone unnoticed; we were recognized as the #1 Family Friendly Winery in the World by the Wine Enthusiast Magazine in April of 2012. We have also been voted Fauquier’s Favorite Winery for 11 straight years. Dog friendliness is a big part of our welcoming atmosphere. From the front door, to the paw prints on the menu, to the pups on the labels, there is no questioning how dog-welcoming we are at Barrel Oak Winery. Dogs are always welcome inside and BOW even has an animal rescue on the estate. We also make sure that every weekend there is something fun happening here at the winery. But our weekdays are our favorite times when we focus on sharing the quiet and peaceful experience of letting our guests feel how much we appreciate them.
